For Kevin Minors the only thing better than watching online shows is making them.

The 23-year-old recently launched Bermudian at University — a web series detailing some common experiences for Bermudians abroad.

The first episode The Triangle launched two weeks ago and has already been watched more than 2,500 times on YouTube.

In it, Mr Minors sheds light on how little his international peers know about the 21-square mile island he calls home. Usually when he tells people he’s from Bermuda, he’s met with responses like: ‘Oh, you mean like the triangle?’

“The feedback [from the first video] has been amazing,” said Mr Minors, a Mathematics PhD student at the University of Bath.

“I was at the Bermuda Day in the UK event the other day and someone came up to me and said ‘I loved the episode! It happens to me all the time! Keep up the great work!’.

“That really made my day. There has also been great support online as well with people liking, sharing, and commenting on the video.”

Mr Minors was just 18-years-old when he was accepted into Oxford University, one of the most prestigious universities in the world, to study mathematics and actuarial science.

It was his first time living outside Bermuda and he experienced a fair bit of culture shock. “I don’t think there was one big thing that I had to get used to,” he explained. “It was all completely different — the accent, the food, the humour, the population demographics, the weather.

“I definitely didn’t fit in right away. I tried to fit in and make myself as ‘English’ as possible and conform to the local culture but it’s quite draining and you start to lose yourself, especially at an age when you are still trying to figure yourself out.

“In the end, it actually made me connect more with being Bermudian. I found myself wanting to know more about who I am, where I came from, and what my history is. It is so important for Bermudians, and the rest of the world for that matter, to know the history of Bermuda.”

Last year while undergoing his Masters, Mr Minors thought it would be great to have an online series discussing some of these issues.

Then he recognised he had the capabilities to do it himself — and got to work.

“I can’t count the number of times I have had this conversation with other Bermudians who are abroad. These experiences seem to be common to all Bermudians and that’s one of the main reasons why I wanted to capture these moments in the web series,” he said.

He didn’t want to give too much away, but said the future episodes would be based on similar topics. The next one will be released later in the autumn. “There are going to be more ideas and moments that I feel Bermudians will be able to relate to, both old and young, home or abroad. There’s going to be a little something for everyone. There may even be some celebrity guest appearances,” he said.

Mr Minors enlisted help from Yu Yang, a member of the Bath CampusTV society to make the videos.

Mr Yang handled the videography and most of the editing, while Mr Minors created the script and storyboard.

Some of the biggest rewards? Learning about the video making process, filming and seeing the episode come alive.

Mr Minors admitted he was excited to give Bermudians a chance to see themselves represented in the media. “I think representation is very important,” he said. “There’s a quote that says ‘it’s hard to be what you can’t see’.

“I wanted to use this web series to show Bermudians, particularly young Bermudians, that we still exist abroad, that we are going to university, that we are getting our higher education, and that they can too if they want.”

Mr Minors is currently looking raise money through crowdfunding site Patreon.com.

Any funds received will go towards paying for the equipment and props and to support some of the local music artists showcased in the series.
